What are the Factors of 686?

The following are the different types of factors of 686:

• Factors of 686: 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686

• Negative Factors of 686: -1, -2, -7, -14, -49, -98, -343, -686

• Prime Factors of 686: 2, 7

• Prime Factorization of 686: $2^1\times7^3$

Factors by Division Method

To calculate the factors of 686, start by dividing the numbers by the smallest prime number, which is 2. If the number is not divisible by 2, proceed to the next prime number, such as 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and continue this process until you reach 1.

Step 1: 686 ÷ 2 = 343
Step 2: 343 ÷ 7 = 49
Step 3: 49 ÷ 7 = 7
Step 4: 7 ÷ 7 = 1

In step 4, we have reached to 1, and so, the process is stopped.

• Prime Factors of 686: $2\times7\times7\times7$

• Prime Factorization of 686: $2^1\times7^3$

The factors will be all the multiples of 1, 2, 7, 7, 7, 49, 343, 686

Calculating all the factors:
2 = 1 x 2
7 = 1 x 7
14 = 1 x 2 x 7
49 = 1 x 49
98 = 1 x 2 x 7 x 7
343 = 1 x 343
686 = 1 x 686

Finally Factors of 686 = 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686
